I live in the San Fernando Valley and also wanted to hear the HSK's. Where did you get to hear them? Thanks

I always liked learning from pictures. This is a super basic drawing of what I think the big 3 should look like. where the alt neg(-) is a bolt connecting the alternator to the engine block and the rest are self explanatory. Let me know if this makes sense or if i'm completely drawing out of...

JimJ- How would one go about piecing "together a set using individual drivers", is this what people consider going active? Could you provide an example pieced together set for a budget of $300-$400? I was also thinking about buying some passive components but if my money could be spent in a...

Note: I already own the kicker KX600.4, i think you might be under the impression that i'm looking to buy a kx600.4, if not then read on I would rather not get another amp unless my current kicker 600.4 can't provide more than enough power for the focals. If i get another amp then my current...

My current amp is a Kicker KX600.4 manual below: http://www.kicker.com/06/tech-support/manuals/manuals/02KX300_600_800_4Manual.pdf I am in all likelyhood going to buy some Focal 165 VR's and only use these as my front stage. http://sonicelectronix.com/item_10646_Focal+165+VR.html#specs My...

cool thanks for the advice...I think I'll probably go with the ensolite and save 14 bucks in my case. thanks again

Don't mean to thread jack....but i was going to be deadening my car and was going to use Damplifier along with a closed cell foam, but wasn't sure if i should go with Overkill or Ensoline MLC. Overkill is priced at ~$1.20/sqft Ensolite ~$0.85/sqft Is there any reason to pay the extra 35 cents...

First off I would like to thank the contributors of this thread greatly. Second, I had a question about how to calculate the fuse size required for the distribution block. Background: I followed the steps to calculate my total system current draw and my final number is: 171amps JL Audio...

I'll definitely take a picture of the relay without tape tomorrow during the day. The gauge of the wire for the two amp grounds is 4 gauge. as for the ground used in that Bosch relay thing its a very small wire probably the same size as a remote wire. I think I'm going to follow your advice...

Hi, This may be a stupid question but i wanted to make sure i was grounding my amps properly but dont have access to a VOM. It says to choose a location on the chassis. I'm not exactly sure which part the chassis is so i took a picture of where the original installer chose to make the...

I am no expert at all but from what i gathered on this thread it appears that putting a fuse on the wire from the battery's positive terminal to the Alternator WILL NOT affect anything ASSUMING you leave your ORIGINAL factory installed wire from the battery to the alternator. If you do not...

^Yeah sounds like good advice. Last night I was gathering a bunch of info from threads here on the forum about sound-deadening and the big three. I'm going to do the big three first(when it stops raining) and then give the sound-deadening and component install a shot, it should be lots of fun.
